While a recent survey found a majority believing that in 5 years, Americans will primarily listen to streaming radio versus traditional AM/FM radio, another study, this time from Clear Channel Media and Entertainment (CCM+E), begs to differ. According to the “State of Listening in America” study, 69% of respondents agree that “streaming services do not replace radio.” Other results from the survey suggest that radio is alive and well: 92% of respondents said they listen to radio at least once a week, while 71% say it’s part of their daily routine.
A recent report demonstrated that radio benefits from its ability to trigger emotional connections from listeners, and the latest study from CCM+E supports that finding. Specifically, 72% of respondents believe that radio feels more “human” than the internet, and 65% feel it is more “personal” than TV. Not only that, but two-thirds agree that their favorite station reflects who they are as a person. Those personal connections mean that 78% agree that radio can make a difference in the community and 72% feel that radio is more community-oriented than TV. Read the rest at MarketingCharts.
